I have been running the 2.6.29 kernel on Mandriva Cooker for some while now, no noticeable difference from 2.6.27 on Mint as far as I can see, but I guess that is just me failing to appreciate the subtleties.

Never mind that, if Linus Torvalds thinks he can ditch Tux he is going to end up more widely hated than Fred Goodwin (google it if you don't understand the reference)

Does anyone know if it's possible for me to get my hands on the linux-image and source packages for kernel 2.6.29-1-generic (x86/x86_64). I don't know why, but the default repos in Felicia only allow you to go as high as 2.6.27-14-generic as of today (04/03/2009). I would think that I should be able to at least get the jaunty kernel without modifying sources.list.
